An old story, such as has often disturbed
the peace of the world, comes from Amasia,
in Asia Minor The inhabitants of this To-
cality are composed of mixture of Mussul.
man Circassians and Armenian Christians.
A friend of the Governor, who was Mus
sulman, fell desperately in love with a
beautiful Armenian girl, and persuaded
that official 10 lend his assistance to carry
her off, i'm order that she might be converted
to the religion Of Islam and married to her
fervent but INSCRIPTIONS admirer. The
Governor consented. The girl was borne
off by force, and all was going as merrily ms
a marriage bell, when the Armenian popu-
lation, objecting TO the treatment that one
of their body was receiving, rose in revolt
and attempted to rescue the girl This
they succeeded in doing, but not before
much blood had been shed.
